JORVIK Viking Centre

DISCOVER COPPERGATETake hold of the past and explore the excavations which fi rst unearthed the Viking-age city in our brand new exhibitions.

The remains of 1,000-year-old houses are revealed beneath your feet, objects taken from the excavations are explored, and Viking-age timbers are brought before your eyes.

New audio and video displays help you to investigate all of the information gathered from the 5-year-long dig at Coppergate and piece together the jigsaw of where the Vikings came from, why they came here, how they lived and died, and where they travelled to.

EXPLORE THE VIKING-AGE CITYAs you travel around the Viking-age city of Jorvik aboard our state-of-the-art time capsules you will encounter the Old-Norsespeaking citizens, see inside their houses and back yards, experience a blast of smoke from the blacksmith’s furnace and enjoy the smell of home-cooked stew inside the home of our amber worker.

EXPERIENCE THE REAL THINGAt JORVIK Viking Centre you are standing on the site of one of the most famous and astounding discoveries of modern archaeology. Between the years 1976-81, archaeologists from York Archaeological Trust revealed the houses, workshops and backyards of the Viking-age city of Jorvik, as it stood 1,000 years ago.

These incredible fi ndings enabled them to build the JORVIK Viking Centre on the very site where the excavations had taken place, creating a groundbreaking visitor experience that enables you to experience life in Viking-age York.
